As I stood upon the bluff before my cottage on that clear cold night in the early part of March, 1886, the noble Hudson flowing like the grey and silent spectre of a dead river below me, I felt again the strange, compelling influence of the mighty god of war, my beloved Mars, which for ten long and lonesome years I had implored with outstretched arms to carry me back to my lost love.

John Carter returns to Mars,
By E. M. Van Court "Van, emvc (at) lycos.com" (Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: The Gods Of Mars (Martian Tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs) (Paperback)
Still naked, still thinking with his muscles, and still sword in hand.
Returning to Mars in the second book of the Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars series, John Carter finds that his beloved Dejah Thoris has made the journey to the valley of the gods of Mars, a journey without return. He ventures forth to rescue her, meeting old friends, new friends, new enemies, disrupting the religion of Mars, fighting to the death, and hanging from cliffs again. And all his efforts wind up in the supreme cliff-hanger of literary history. Like the first book of the Mars series, A Princess of Mars (Penguin Classics), there are feats of courage and recklessness, non-stop action, cliff hangers, and a complete absense of political correctness. Old school, first rate fun that leaves you ready for the next volume of this light weight adventure. E. M. Van Court
